Dresses are a must-have in every woman's wardrobe, especially during hot summer days. The breezy, flowing maxi dress worn in the already classic bohemian style is headstrong for spring/summer 2011. This season's long gown is characterized by soft, fluid, delicate fabrics in bright colors, romantic floral or wild animal prints, graphic stripes or ethnic prints.

It's impossible to imagine sunny summer days without the light,
breezy and comfy maxi dress. This is an essential item for the warm
season due to its versatility and practicality. When choosing the
most flattering maxi dress you need to pay attention to its length
and go for one that is not at heel level, which is too short, but
one that slightly covers your feet. As for the footwear chosen,
flats are the best choice, such as a pair of gladiators or chic,
simple flat sandals. However, if you are petite and want to look
taller, a pair of platform
sandals work amazingly.

Spring/summer 2011 brings a riot of different styles, shapes and
colors when it comes to the popular maxi dress. From bright,
dazzling colors and wild, daring prints to the classic white and
soft nude, this season the long dress is making a strong comeback.
You just have to find the most flattering style for your body shape
and enjoy summer to the fullest.

Long gone the days when short dresses were the key element during hot
summer days. Now, when temperatures rise, the saving solution comes
from a long, very long dress made from delicate fabrics. Therefore,
the maxi dress is not just an appropriate choice for a formal, red
carpet event, but also for casual, daytime outfits. Since the
simplicity and the elegance of minimalism are incontestable,
spring/summer 2011 brings
beautiful, fresh pastels and neutrals, romantic white and nude maxi
dresses, perfect for an effortless and impeccable, yet extremely
feminine appearance.

The maxi dress can easily be called an old faithful. However,
throughout time, designers reinvented this key element coming up
with numerous versions and making the maxi dress a very adaptable
and practical piece. Back once again, the spring/summer 2011 long
dress gently floats around the body exuding femininity and a
timeless romantic vibe. It's time we join the captivating world of
floral prints which decorate every surface of the dress in order to
enhance our spring mood.

Everywhere on the catwalks one could see amazing, bohemian
floor-sweeping dresses with lovely floral prints. And indeed,
flowers exploded across the collections and the popular maxi dress
makes no exception. From small, delicate flowers and Liberty prints
to large floral prints, Rebecca

Roarrr! Ground-skimming dresses and animal prints result into
something spectacular, sexy and bold. Even though until now we
mostly thought of wearing animal prints on
accessories, shoes or handbags, it's time we make one step forward
and try something bolder. For spring/summer 2011, maxi dresses with
leopard prints are so hot even for daytime wear. If you find the
head-to-toe animal printed outfit too much, you can still try other
trendy patterns such as graphic or ethnic prints. Maybe you already
know this, but brights are one of the hottest trends for the warm
season. Fascinating shades and clashing combinations were seen on
numerous fashion shows. Jil Sander and Sonia Rykiel opted for
daring bright maxi dresses.

Spring/summer 2011 trends are characterized by extravagance,
colors and elegance. Nowadays, black is not the only possible color
choice for a chic formal dress. If you want to add a special
feeling to your evening gown, draw your inspiration from the latest
trends and opt for a maxi dress in a unique color or with different
embellishments that can make you look just like a diva on the red
carpet. Maxi dresses with a rather refined touch could be spotted
at Elie Saab, Badgley Mischka, Jenny Packham,
Gianfranco Ferré, among others.

Every single one of these creations proves that a simple maxi dress
can definitely turn heads. Glamour, femininity and sensuality are
the best words describing the main effect of a perfect long gown
that despite its apparent simplicity shows off a woman's most
beautiful features. Besides, a slash-front maxi dress reveals sexy
legs in a non-vulgar way.
